Getting Started

Add your child & pick their avatar.

Two minutes of setup. One very important handover moment.

⏱️ 2 minutes👤 Parent (bring your kid in at the avatar step)🎯 Result: a child profile ready to go

Every child in KidsFocus gets their own profile — their own tasks, Stars, streaks and rewards. You manage everything from your Parent Dashboard; they get a colourful, simple view that's all theirs.

The steps

  1. Sign in at kidsfocus.org. Use Google, Apple, or your email — we'll send a 6-digit login code, no password needed.
    KidsFocus sign-in screen with Google, Apple and email sign-in options
    One tap to sign in — Google, Apple, or a 6-digit code sent to your email.
  2. You'll land on the profile screen. This shows your Parent Dashboard card at the top and every child profile below it.

    Your home base: Parent Dashboard up top, a card per child below.
  3. Tap + Add Child Profile. The New Child Profile form opens right on the profile screen. Enter your child's first name — that's the only detail you need.
    The New Child Profile form open on the profile screen with a name field and avatar choices
    The form opens in place — a first name is all it asks for.
  4. Pick an avatar — together. Cat, Dog, Bunny, Panda, Fox or Owl… or tap Bring your own. This 30-second choice is what turns "Mum's app" into "my app".

  5. Tap Create Profile. Done. Their card now appears on the profile screen.

    Name in, avatar picked — Create Profile and their card appears.

💡 Parent tip

Do the account setup alone, then bring your child in just for the avatar. Fast for you, exciting for them.

The first time your child opens their profile

Tap their card ("Tap to enter as…") and they'll see a friendly welcome screen — what the app does, in three lines, with an optional tour. One tap on Let's Go! and they're in.

The KidsFocus welcome screen for a child named Charlie, showing Complete Tasks, Stay Focused and Earn Rewards, a Give me a tour checkbox and a Let's Go button
What your child sees first: three simple promises and one big button. The tour checkbox is there if they want it.

Good to know

✅ You're ready

Next stop: give them something to do. The Quick-Start Routines build a whole morning routine in one tap.
